Chapter 17 Just a classmate I didn't know well.

Out of consideration for the patient, Xie Yanning even helped clean up the dishes and fed the cat for her.

Su Wanwan leaned back on the sofa and watched.

Yuanxiao, on the other hand, was all smiles towards Xie Yanning, rubbing against his trouser leg with a fawning expression that Su Wanwan couldn't bear to look at.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Su Wanwan skipped to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine for Xie Yanning before leaving, saying, "Here, this is for you. I don't drink it anyway, so there's no need for it to be there."

The commotion during the Lantern Festival destroyed most of the flower stands.

Thanks to her mother, who loved flowers dearly, Su Wanwan had some knowledge of flowers, including some rare and precious varieties.

The losses were not only financial, but also in terms of energy.

Taking care of those flowers requires a lot of time and effort.

Xie Yanning took it and looked at it. It was quite old. This brand of red wine would cost at least tens of thousands of yuan on the market.

"This wine..."

“This was a gift from my friend. He said that since I’m all alone here, I could drown my sorrows in alcohol during the long night, but all I want to do during this long night is sleep.”

As a doctor, Su Wanwan rarely drinks alcohol, believing that it reduces nerve sensitivity, while her profession requires her to have highly accurate nerve responses.

Her scalpel is a weapon of life.

Xie Yanning looked down at the strong red wine. Female friends wouldn't give her something impractical, so it could only be a male friend.

Saying she should drown her sorrows in alcohol is probably just a way to make her think of him when she sees things.

"Thank you then."

"Is 4 PM okay?" Xie Yanning asked Su Wanwan to confirm the time.

Su Wanwan estimated the time and said, "Okay."

After resting for most of the afternoon, Su Wanwan's knee was much better, at least it didn't affect her walking.

She tidied her clothes and waited at the door a few minutes early.

Xie Yanning hates it when people are late.

At four o'clock, Xie Yanning came out and saw her waiting there. He asked, "Why didn't you ring the doorbell?"

"Isn't it because I didn't want to bother you?"

Xie Yanning took the large bag from her hand, gave her a deep look, and said, "No."

Su Wanwan followed behind, somewhat puzzled. What couldn't she do?

The car was parked in the underground garage, and the two took the elevator down.

Xie Yanning put Su Wanwan's large bag on the back seat. Just as Su Wanwan was about to get in, Xie Yanning slammed the car door shut.

"???" If she's not sitting in the back seat, where is she going to sit? Xie Yanning opened the passenger door, saw her standing there in a daze, and said, "Come and get in the car."

Su Wanwan: "???"

She got into the passenger seat with a lot of doubts, having not paid close attention last time because she was in a daze.

This time, the passenger seat seemed rather spacious, clearly indicating that a tall, adult man had sat there.

Could it be his father?

Fastening her seatbelt, Su Wanwan asked, "Don't you need me to sit in the back seat?"

The passenger seat is such a sensitive position, but her father doesn't care. She really does care.

Xie Yanning didn't quite understand. "What's the difference between before and after?" She paused for a moment and then said, "Also, I don't really want to be a full-time driver."

"Straight men, straight men," Su Wanwan thought to herself, shaking her head. How could Zhang Yunqing possibly put up with this?

Isn't the passenger seat reserved for girlfriends or wives?

Although I didn't get along with her very well, I still felt sorry for her in my heart.

As Xie Yanning drove out of the garage, Su Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever given away a lot of people a ride?"

The gate slowly opened. Xie Yanning, paying attention to the road conditions, casually replied, "What do you mean by 'carrying many people'?"

"So anyone can sit in the passenger seat?"

Xie Yanning glanced at her briefly, "Otherwise, would it have to be royalty?"

Su Wanwan felt that she saw the word "stupid" in Xie Yanning's eyes.

Su Wanwan didn't know what expression to make, so she could only nod: "Of course there are no rules."

She shouldn't have asked Professor Xie such a superficial question; how could a child's thoughts compare to the vastness of academia?

Xie Yanning turned on the navigation, and the only sound in the car was the sweet navigation voice.

When the car was halfway there, Xie Yanning's phone rang.

Su Wanwan immediately noticed the note: Zhang Yunqing.

She immediately sat up straight, feeling somewhat insecure sitting in Xie Yanning's car.

Xie Yanning didn't notice as she put on her Bluetooth headset.

"Yunqing, what's wrong?"

Oh, Yunqing, you call me that so affectionately.

"I'll be there soon, probably in about half an hour."

Haha, a day apart feels like three autumns.

"Don't wait for me, you go ahead."

They really are like an old married couple.

Su Wanwan simply put on her Bluetooth headphones and opened a surgical video to watch, but the video, which she used to enjoy while eating, now seemed utterly boring.

She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window.

This is her second time visiting Beicheng. The first time was when her cousin graduated from Huada University and she attended the graduation ceremony. The second time is now.

The area heading towards Fengyang Avenue is all new district, with new buildings that are getting taller and more impressive than the last.

Xie Yanning hung up the phone and saw that Su Wanwan was wearing earplugs, so he didn't say anything and drove in silence.

Half an hour passed quickly. When they arrived at the hotel, Xie Yanning went to the parking lot, and Su Wanwan got out of the car first, took her things, and said goodbye to Xie Yanning.

She took a few steps forward and saw Zhang Yunqing just coming out from inside.

Su Wanwan sighed inwardly.

Even the good fortune that Yang Lewei had when she got married failed to bring her any blessing.

When Zhang Yunqing saw her, she was taken aback. She was a smart woman, and thinking back to seeing Su Wanwan at the wedding dress shop a few days ago, she seemed to understand something.

She gave a slight smirk. "What a coincidence."

Su Wanwan replied listlessly, "Yes, it was a coincidence that I ended up at my maternal grandmother's house."

What a small world!

When Yang Lewei heard Su Wanwan say that she had arrived, she went to the door to greet her.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Zhang Yunqing and Su Wanwan.

"Hey, isn't that the beautiful woman I saw at the bridal shop the other day?" Yang Lewei still remembered the beauty quite well, not to mention that Su Wanwan had even had a little beauty contest back then, forcing her to take sides and admit who was more beautiful.

Judging from their demeanor, it would be hard to believe they didn't know each other.

Could it be an old friend?

Yang Lewei stepped forward and took Su Wanwan's arm. "Darling, you're here."

Upon seeing Yang Lewei, Su Wanwan smiled and said, "Yes, let's go upstairs."

"well?"

As Yang Lewei was being led away, she glanced back at the beautiful woman watching them leave.

"Who was that just now? Did you two have a grudge before?" Yang Lewei's gossip radar went live.

Su Wanwan has a very good temper and rarely gets angry.

Yang Lewei could only think of this answer to why someone could be so unkind to another person.

Is it a holiday?

Su Wanwan thought for a moment.

Zhang Yunqing simply dealt her a blow when she was at her happiest, causing her to flee like a stray dog.

Her wishful thinking has nothing to do with Zhang Yunqing.

Strictly speaking, it was she who wronged Zhang Yunqing.

Who would be happy to know that their friend is eyeing their boyfriend?

"No, just a classmate I'm not very familiar with," Su Wanwan said, avoiding the main point. "It's been so long since we last met that I've almost forgotten about her."
